As the coffin was hurled into

Michael Scofield jumped out, ran
down the road and caught the
runaway horses, temporarily
dressed Undertaker's Morgan's
injuries, and assisted him back to
the village.
The Day Book is willing to ad
mit that this would be a good
story. The only trouble with it

1 THOSE STOLEN BALLOTS
Eyery good citizen, na matter
what party he belongs to, should
stand for an honest co'unt of bal
lots; and without regard towhat
candidate it helps or harms.
Charges are made that ballots
cast for Rinaker, Cunnea and
Haight were counted fraudulent
ly for Hoyne, for state's attor
ney. If there is any justification fdtv
these charges, they should be
promptly and vigorously inves
tigated. Whoever got a plurality on
election day was the choice of the
oeoote. and whether it was
Hoyne. Rinaker, Cunnea or
Haight the will of the people
should be honestly recorded and
their choice given the office. '
Now is as good a time as any
to go after election thieves in
Chicago; and every honest citi
zen should help make the fight.
